Commentary
Because the creature itself also--"even the creation itself." shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption--its bondage to the principle of decay. into the glorious liberty--rather, "the liberty of the glory." of the children of God--that is, the creation itself shall, in a glorious sense, be delivered into that freedom from debility and decay in which the children of God, when raised up in glory, shall expatiate: into this freedom from corruptibility the creation itself shall, in a glorious sense, be delivered (So CALVIN, BEZA, BENGEL, THOLUCK, OLSHAUSEN, DE WETTE, MEYER, PHILIPPI, HODGE, ALFORD, &c.).
